A Quick Look at Bloomberg News's Opinion Section for July 6, 2012

THE EDITORS: British lawmakers should have begun their questioning of
former Barclay's CEO Robert Diamond with a simple question: "'Where
were the controls?' In four short words, the MPs should have demanded
to know why various checks and balances, which all banks must have,

JONATHAN WEIL: "If Barclays would lie about its borrowing costs, what

ENRIQUE KRAUZE: In Mexico, it's unfair to focus only on the negative.
"In the past 15 years, there has been extraordinary progress in the
